Let e 1 , , e n be the standard basis row vectors, and observe the following facts about matrix multiplication:
1. e i A gives the ith row of the matrix A
2. For row vectors v 1 , , v m , we have
(   v 1   v m ) A = (   v 1 A   v m A )
Combine these to get the desired result for any elementary row operations.
